Death Wish Club

Warning: Spoilers
Like some other reviewers here, I too was first introduced to this little oddity as part of the trainwreck of an anthology, Night Train To Terror. Now, I've finally been able to watch the full length version of it, titled The Death Wish Club.

A hot little girl musician working at a carny is corrupted and turned into a porn star. A college pre-med student sees her flicks, meets her, bangs her, which angers her corrupter, who wants her all to himself. This leads to games comparable to Russian roulette, played at a "Death Club." One of the games has the participants sitting in desks that look like they were taken from my old junior high school, while they're shocked with electric charges, with the voltage gradually increased. The scene culminates with a Richard Pryor lookalike (named Prince Flubutu!) saying "Excuse me while I smoke", while smoke appears around him as he's electrocuted.

Some good sex scenes with Merideth Haze's character, including one surreal sequence of her completely nude, on a red swing, against a plan blue backdrop; another of her nude in the bathtub, playing with an oversized, plastic fish; and having sex with a guy in a gorilla costume. Each more puzzling than the previous.

When it is over with, you won't even care, or want to know, what it was about, you'll either be laughing at its incomprehensibility, or wanting to watch the surreal nudity again. It doesn't quite reach the same levels of madness and insanity as Night Train To Terror, but it is still worth a look for fans of awful cinema.
